Sawtooth P1 burnout advice

Hi all, Looks like I have a problem with one of my 'teeth. It wasn't powering up properly - would start to come on then die before any drives came up - and in the process of looking for the problem (suspected power supply) I found that three pins on the P1 power connector are blackened. All a

Odd Finding On AGP G4

Still have resolved my TFT fuzzy problem on my G4. I did notice that although it is an AGP G4 400mhz (I know it is because it has an Airport slot and AGP slot) that it in fact has a ATI Rage Pro in the PCI slot and not an AGP card. Could this cause dodgy TFT? Simon --- www.simonroyal.co.uk a

I had a similar problem with a 19" Samsung widescreen, and in my case it did turn out to be the VGA cable. Even though the cable I'd been using was brand new, fresh from the package, I had overlooked the fact that it did not have a ferrite core anywhere along the line. I acquired another cable wi

First of all, make sure that you're viewing your screen at the monitor's native resolution. Google says the native resolution is 1024x768, but that's only from one source. That will probably fix the "jaggies" you're seeing, and perhaps the blurriness. The blurriness could also be caused by

Hi I picked up a 14" TFT monitor from a fellow Mac user (it is a Teleview LT-14) a few months ago and haven't gotten round to setting it up until today. I have it attached to a PowerMac G4 400Mhz AGP via VGA. It works fine however the picture is quite fuzzy. I have played around with differen

Re: Rotten smell raises Apple toxin fears

Some people are talking about notebook styled Macs ... is it the battery heating up too much? I thought at one time there was a problem with batteries. Don't care for the sensationalism, either, when we're trying to solve an issue on the LEMList. Different kind of heating up ... that smells

My G5/1.8mHz stinks. I bought it used. The first thing I noticed when I turned it on was the smell. I blamed it on that electronic smell. If I leave it running overnight, my neighbour who comes over for coffee every morning will ask me what smells. When I leave it turned off overnight, he asks

NVidia GeForce cards work very well in my Macs. You can get a 5200/256MB AGP card for under $50; Core Image & Quartz Extreme will be hardware supported. It will boot Leopard without the delay that the 6200s experience. Of course you will need to re-flash the card to make it work in your Mac. If yo

Hi My PowerMac G4 AGP will be arriving today. It only has a 16MB AGP Rage 128 or 128 Pro. Would adding a better graphics make any difference. I don't do any advanced video editing (not on a machine of this speed), but I wondered if it would help with everyday tasks. Also I will run Tiger, bu
